Lamar, Lamar: When you gonna wake up?Out of nowhere -- in a quarter they typically tank ... the third -- the Mavs allowed a lowly eight points on the road to the Philadelphia 76ers. The 16-point differential in the quarter give the Mavericks a brilliant comeback, a two-point edge in the game and, eventually, the win, 82-75.
The 76ers scored 24 in the second half. Dirk Nowitzki matched them with 24 of his own in the second half. He notched probably his best game of the year -- despite shooting like shit in the first half -- with 28 points and 12 rebounds. Typically the double-double machine in his career, Nowitzki's rebounding numbers have drastically plummeted the last two season. He has double-digit rebounds in just three games. His season-high was 13 in January against the Spurs.
Otherwise, it was Maverick defense locking down on the road. The 76ers' backcourt went 0-12. The team shot 33 percent. The starting five went 10-39.
The Mavericks have won six straight and are nine games over .500. Still, they're second in the Southwest Division thanks to the Spurs winning nine straight ... very, very quietly.
Notes:
1. You'd think at some point Lamar Odom would realize he's a part of something, at least for this year, and get his head right.
2. Amber Alert: Ian Mahinmi.
3. It's good that Dom Jones can get minutes and produce. He was not great overall. Was able to score a little.
4. The Mavs are 8-6 on the road. Stealing one without three of your top four guards on the road against a good team means something.
